A round of mini golf or bowling
A silly afternoon out. Around $15-40.
A soft scarf

Visit a gadget store together and let him pick. It costs little.
Notes hidden around the house
Small notes tucked into a coat, a book and the fridge. It costs nothing.
Buying for a tech lover
Anything with a battery or a port has to fit the gear he already has. A smart lamp, a power bank or a stand is a safer pick than a flagship device.
Ask a friend for a model number if you are unsure.
Buying for your brother
Gifts for a brother can be playful and affectionate. Choose something he would use and something that makes him laugh.
Add a note that mentions a memory.
If you want to give it today
A gift with no date attached says more than one on a deadline. Software subscriptions, streaming subscriptions and a personalized game are quick to arrange, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.
There is no deadline, which lets you order things that take a week to arrive. Pair a quick digital gift with something that needs shipping.
What should I get my brother who loves tech?

Yes. Software subscriptions and digital gifts can be sent in minutes. An oin game is generated automatically after payment and usually emailed within an hour.
